  I am trying to embed the following code from Issuu onto a page on my blog.

  <div><object style=”width:600px;height:365px” ><param name=”movie” value=”http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=110815174347-eb854685f98c47bc8f636c72c8272002&docName=fromtreetotable&username=dougc&loadingInfoText=From%20Tree%20to%20Table&et=1313431584407&er=4″ /><param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true”/><param name=”menu” value=”false”/><embed src=”http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” menu=”false” style=”width:600px;height:365px” flashvars=”mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=110815174347-eb854685f98c47bc8f636c72c8272002&docName=fromtreetotable&username=dougc&loadingInfoText=From%20Tree%20to%20Table&et=1313431584407&er=4″ /></object><div style=”width:600px;text-align:left;”>Open publication – Free publishing – More fruit trees</div></div>

  The minute I hit update the code breaks, shrinks, and only the links are saved on my page. http://treetotablebook.wordpress.com/look-inside/

  I see that Issuu has a WordPress.org plugin, but since I am using the free wordpress.com version, this plugin doesn’t apply to me. How can it be that WordPress is breaking my HTML code each time I enter it on my page? Does anyone know of a way to keep it from breaking? This HTML code is working everywhere else on our website when I enter it as it through Dreamweaver.

  Thanks,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You cannot directly embed flash for security reasons here at wordpress.com. The gigya shortcode can be used for it, but gigya is not officially supported. Still in most cases it works. Look through these posts by Panos on how to use gigya: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/gigya/ .
